Dr. Deines is a quantitative ecosystem and fishery scientist with more than 15 years of experience. He uses data analytic techniques to glean environmental insight from large and convoluted data sources. He specializes in data-limited problems requiring integration of disparate data sets to address knowledge gaps common to environmental impact and risk assessment. Dr. Deines has particular expertise in determining the relationship between populations and drivers of environmental changes such as river flow alterations, invasive species, and chemical releases.
He has conducted international field work in the US, Africa, and Australia, working on multidisciplinary research teams of geneticists, social scientists, economists, and natural resource managers.
Dr. Deines' work includes environmental economic dimensions that consider the value of ecosystems services. In particular, he has developed a bio-economic framework to assess the potential environmental and economic benefits, or drawbacks, of harvesting invasive species for food and other uses.
Dr. Deines' expertise also includes the development and use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for the detection of rare or invasive species in aquatic systems using species-specific genetic markers. Dr. Deines has used DNA analyses to examine the genetic impact of invasive species to native populations and the potential impact to commercially important fisheries.
